Yeah, that’s how it goes. Frankly, I get annoyed at people who have electrical stuff come naturally to them, because ALL of them simply assume it’s equally easy for everyone else.
I’ve never understood that. I have skills that not everyone has, and I’ve never thought everyone else had the same. For example, I can draw reasonably well (and used to do it professionally). Not everyone can do that. Some local modelers have said they don’t get how I can get such good shots on my layout without fancy lighting or a camera that costs more than their homes. Also, I have always had an uncanny ability to hit targets with almost any firearm I get my hands on. In the Army, I was a whiz at calling in indirect fires (mortars, artillery and such). I almost always dropped my spotter round right on the target. They even had me demonstrating how to judge areas for immediate suppresive fire (which means you’re calling in a bunch of artillery rounds to hit out of the blue without any adjustments to a spotter round). 99.9% of the time the incoming airburst went off right over the target.
But I never thought that everyone else had the same feel for it.
Electricity and sheet music are two things I’ve long ago given up trying to understand. In each case, I understand the core concepts, but not nearly enough to be useful to myself or anyone else. When it comes to electrical stuff, I leave that to people who know better.
Frankly, I’m sick to death of the, “It’s simple for me, so therefore it must be simple to you, too” mindset so many people have…
